1) The Kenosha shooting was self defense. And if you arbitrarily lump things together, you can probably find an arbitrary number of victims. BLM is connected to socialism, so I guess you could count the 100 million dead in the Chinese Culture revolution and so on.

2) In the same vein, there seems to be only one actual victim of protester violence at the capitol, and that one also looks more like an accident (got hit in the head with a thrown item, which is of course a stupidly dangerous attack, but also common at BLM riots)

3) That's not CHAZ cooperating with authorities, but authorities cooperating with CHAZ. Just because "your people" welcomed the secession, doesn't make it any more democratic.

Also, there are videos from the capitol of security staff chatting with the protesters. So I guess they were also cooperating, and hence, by your logic, democratic.

Anyway, let's end here. There really is no point. It is just always interesting how warped people's perceptions can be.
I'd be super interested in seeing the science behind this. My working memory is essentially non-existent -- as soon as a look away from something I can no longer remember what was there. Are the changing colors supposed to help with that?

Even outside of CS this will give them a huge head start.

Functional decomposition is one of the most valuable skill one can have. Knowing what an interface is and being able to see a system as a series of layers of abstraction is too.

LOL. This is about as secure as the spin dials on luggage. The hardware contains the pin # in memory that (presumably) decrypts the key, just like any mechanical lock contains the combination (in its physical configuration) that unlocks it.

And if the pin implementation is this hackneyed, I have a feeling that the so-called encryption is anything but.
That's the same conclusion my company, a Fortune 500 utility company in the US, came too. Their solution? 90% of the staff is expected to continue working remotely as the new normal. Frankly it's working too well. Productivity has increased, employees are happy, we've successfully on-boarded new hires and we can expand the geographical range from which we can hire. Win-win-win. The executives are happy, the workers are happy, we're all saving time and money - this is good!

"why would anyone be short a stock with short interest that high" is kind of funny, in a "nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded" kind of way. They short the stock because the fundamentals say to short the stock, regardless of the games being played. The short interest is high because the underlying company is in very bad shape. It should probably already be bankrupt.

Short trades are dangerous, and dangerous in a new way. The old maxim remains true that the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent. Or in this case, retail investors will pay to enjoy your suffering longer than you can remain solvent, and consider it a cheap price to pay.

Still... if I had bigger appetite risk, I'd short this stock myself. The price is obviously too high, and there's a ton of money to be made by shorting it. But the horizon on that profit is longer than I have the stomach for.
Most of these hurdles seem really unimportant compared to the salary savings

Not completely orthogonal. Perhaps they should be, but the intersection of the two sets (advocates for rent restrictions and advocates of zoning restrictions) appears to be a large portion of the total, as far as I can tell.

> enough to fix the problem

I think we need to define the problem before we start arguing solutions. In my view "can't afford the rent" is a poverty problem, not a rent prices problem. So, I want anti-poverty solutions, not rent price adjustment solutions. I view "the rent is too high" as a distinct problem from "can't afford the rent." So in my mind, rent price adjustments via price regulation are inappropriate for both problems.

> so that only productive activities ... are profitable

I understand taxing negative externalities, but this sounds anti-democratic. Who decides what's productive? Let's put an appropriate tax on pollution (broadly defined) and let the market figure out what's most productive. That's what it's good at.

> why oppose them?

I don't know of any instances where rent control didn't affect mobility. Are you considering the effect on immigration and wages in other cities? If they didn't affect mobility, then almost by definition they had no effect whatsoever. They'd have to be covering such a tiny portion of the market that they can essentially be ignored, both cost and benefit. Which makes them a waste of bureaucracy.
Agreed. Wire had such great potential, being E2E encrypted, cross platform and based in Switzerland. I discovered it probably 4 or 5 years ago when looking for a cross-platform alternative to iMessages, after buying my 1st Android phone. It had a lot going for it back then and I moved all my family group onto it.

Unfortunately, during the intervening time, development seems to have all but stalled, with Signal, Telegram, et al overtaking Wire.

This would be bad enough on its own but was combined with an almost Steve Jobs-ian arrogance from the dev team. Their Github issues was full of requests, many dating back years, asking for really basic functionality like; font size control, support for landscape orientation, support for tablets, backup facility, etc. Most of which got a dismissive "We're not going to do that" response.

Then, when they belatedly did roll out a backup & restore function, it was barely functional and, even when it did occasionally work, could only restore on the same device it had been backed up from.

They "Coulda bin a contender" but, even with all the press coverage on alternatives to WhasApp over the past weeks, I've not seen a single mention of Wire. What a squandered opportunity!

[Incidentally. I moved all my family group over to Telegram, last year, after a Wire update lost people's messages archives, and the difference in usability and dare I say "fun" is like night and day. Even my 80-something year old mother, who's not the most tech savvy person in the world remarked how much better Telegram was]

It appears to me that our society is currently threatened by a group using the exact strategy that those Nazis were using in your home country, except they're at the next stage, past the using free speech and actively now attempting to destroy it.

I'm of the belief that to protect your free society you protect it's virtue, even when people take advantage of it. If you hold steadfast to "free speech", no group ever gets past that first stage, so they can never take power. It means sometimes tolerating hearing reprehensible views of the world, but it is either that or giving someone all the guns and the power to control what you say, and if history teaches us anything, that always ends badly for the regular people no matter the initial intention of the person doing the censoring, a power like that is irresistible to those who want to use it to benefit themselves.
Bubbles do pop, and this was clearly a bubble but this was not a popping bubble. This was someone picking up their ball and going home. They can make whatever argument they want, we will see how it is litigated out. It was a clear coordinated action though across several brokerages.

The best thing we did was bite the bullet and stop hiring remote folks using some CoL metric invented by HR.

Nice try RobinHood. But we all know you are just in bed with the hedge funds that you sell order flow and trading data to.
Not American, but guessing:

- If you do some, there will be nagging requests to do all of them, however minor they would be

- Accents are not a clear-cut thing, hence customers would argue that "this is not how we pronounce X" based on their variation

- Maybe there's no real need, as most companies in need of a TTS probably operate in the whole country (think telcos and such). People are used to the generic accent since the TV and radio appeared.

Why not make your laws more friendly?
Not all brokerages have banned buying so those who are buying are using a different brokerage. A lot of Robinhood users are now moving to other discount brokers like Webull.
Only invest what you can afford to loose
I think generally you can place an order before the market opens, maybe even the day before, but that doesn't really give you any pricing power. It will still pop at the open and your order may not clear until it does. But that may still put you ahead of the Robinhood masses.

Better option might be to try a pre-IPO trading platform like EquityZen.
Arbitraging the bid-ask spread is tied to both halves: motivation - desire to make a profit, market knowledge - knowing when there are arbitrage opportunities (asks smaller than bids).

That is because MP3 is not a file format in the first place. The file is originally simply an stream of MP3 frames written into a file without any structure and usually with technically invalid and undecodable frame at both ends (due to how MP3 compression works). Because it is originally designed for transmission across some kind of somewhat unreliable network, there are resynchronization structures in the stream and decoders tend to be able to ignore various kinds of totally invalid crap in the input data, this feature is exploited by all the ID3vX formats to essentially embed arbitrary data into the file. Several other commonly used "MPEG something" "file formats" are exactly the same thing.

This is somewhat ironic given the fact that quite large part of MPEG specification deals with various framing and metadata structures (on the other hand the overall architecture of all that is best described as "overengineered", so ignoring it makes some kind of sense).

> On the one hand, yes, it's a hard problem, on the other hand, if you think about how much a modern video game does 60 times per second, it's not that hard anymore.

Agreed! Modern GPUs are amazing, as is the software stack on top of them. (Crufty, fragile, maddening, inconsistent ... and amazing.)

For the next-gen needs of video calling, some combination of Nvidia, Apple, Intel, Arm, Microsoft, Google, codec IP owners, and a bunch of mobile chipset manufacturers are going to have to agree on a bunch of stuff. That never happens in a logical, straightforward way.

For the past 10 years Nvidia has been betting that a really big chunk of their future growth will come from powering machine learning applications of all kinds. They're probably ... right? (I mean, I have no idea.) But as someone who cares a lot about video and only intramurally about machine learning, I find that frustrating. There's a lot of relatively low-hanging fruit, from a technical perspective, in hardware codec support.

I know, crazy point I'm sure, but even if you have a bad reputation, you should work to keep it from getting worse.

RH app reviews right now are going to be way too emotional, and they'll stay there no matter what RH does in the coming days. This will take Apple's reputation down a notch on both ends--app developer and app reviewer.
Well I think probably most of the people on wsb have no idea what they're doing, those that trade on margin are extremely reckless and irrational. Having said that I still find absolutely ridiculous and highly corrupt that they solely stopped buy orders. If you stop trading that's reasonable, but to cap this off on one side and allow Wallstreet to make up for losses is unacceptable.
It's a pretty product but calling it "strong" is very generous. It goes down constantly and I'd personally never trust more than a few hundred bucks to the platform. It's by far one of the worst brokerages in terms of execution and reliability.
I don't understand how they can blame capital requirements and potentially having to cover customers' losses (that was Interactive Brokers) for stopping purchases of the stock. Unless you're talking about buying on margin, there's no risk that you'd have to absorb any loss for someone who just buys a share of the stock through you with their own cash.
So what you're saying is Coins go up?
My version of editing the constitution is vastly more likely to happen than whatever fever dream this is.
Likely no margin at all. Maybe even to the point of cash needing to clear into your account (from previous trades/ACH transfers) before you can buy these stocks.

Maybe limits/ban on selling of options where the loss can be unlimited (as opposed to buying where the limit is the option's contract price).

You're going to have to source that claim, friend. There is nothing more fundamental than supply and demand. The action to allow people to sell but not buy is not overly cautious, it's obviously advantageous to the short interest.

Isn't buying a house on margin... basically just a normal mortgage?
Just stay away from robinhood. Use a serious broker. Even if you - privileged as you are - think you can deal with that. Others may not see as far, and be scammed.
It's pretty clear that Robinhood users are incredibly leveraged right now on these transactions. Someone in finance probably gave their team a "Come to Bernanke moment" and pointed out that when the bubble pops they will be eating a huge load of crap where they are on the hook for a bunch of teenagers' margin calls.

It's crappy all around, but the ball was in their court for giving so many people the ability to trade on the margin.
Game. Stop. It's not what you think
> Melvin Capital has already stated they have closed out their position, think it would probably be fraud if they hadn't.

Two points:

1. As I understood it, they closed *A* position, not their whole position, and announced that in the hopes it would deflate the stock price so Melvin doesn't crater.
2. And what, exactly, would be the punishment for this fraud, assuming they even get prosecuted and convicted? Can you put a dollar figure on it? Now put a dollar figure on how much they would lose if they didn't make that announcement, and compare the two numbers.
It was blocked in Robinhood's UI, but on the back end the hedge funds could trade at will. And the hedge funds had to buy a lot of stock to cover their shorts, so it was handy to get the retail buyers out of the way.
> You think a lack of volume from retail traders on Robinhood is the cause of the drop? To put it mildly, that's a little naive.

You think that the presence of volume from retail traders of Robinhood wasn't the cause of the increase to begin with? To put it mildly, that's delusional.
As much as I enjoyed Excession, I thought Look to Windward was his strongest book. It tells a story that is set closer to the Culture and is less about its violent interventions into other civilizations; rather, it's portrays the consequences (moral, personal, etc.) of such interventions, and about the resulting trauma among those involved.

Personally, I would rank Surface Detail, Consider Phlebas, and Use of Weapons higher than the others. I thought The Hydrogen Sonata had some fun parts, but was otherwise quite slight. Matter was good but also severely bloated, a bit like The Algebraist, with a long middle journey portion that felt unnecessary.
The answer to that is simpler: Try doing the Ctrl-z/fg sequence in your bash with this one:

while true ; do sleep 1 ; done

You'll see that after 'fg', the loop ends :-)

Simply put: C-z followed by fg is not bulletproof. Not to mention that I had no idea what I was running in there, and how any signal would impact it... So I wanted to find a safer way to dump what was already there, in my shell's memory.

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed reading this regardless :-)
Wrong. The bull case was made for GME as far back as late 2019, and it gained momentum this year.

Nothing different than Jim Cramer talking up a stock on CNBC every fucking night.

Edit: I know this because I watched a youtube video from a popular redditor named deepfuckingvalue a few weeks ago and bought into the thesis fully as a value investment. He goes under the name RoaringKitty on youtube.

I lost multiple years worth of salary this morning when RobinHood decided to stop selling GME.
I guess I understand where you are coming from, but they way I understand it is that RH submits a bulk order for a stock and gets a quote from the MM, which the MM thinks is appropriate. The MM then adjusts its own portfolio accordingly, buying/selling the underlying stock at its own pace.

So, more or less as described, but the order is a little different, right?
Crazy Browser, IE browser shell I used 20 years ago, had this same capability (actually, "more powerful", since it was not limited to two).

If I were them, frankly I'd be ashamed a bit (or a lot) of bragging about it in 2020.... but that's just me, I guess.

(Nowdays [more like many a year], a Firefox user with even heavier TreeStyleTab addiction. Now, if only Mozilla would finally get its session API in order...)
I don't see this ending well for (some of) the Robinhood crowd. Wall Street has deeper pockets. Robinhood manages $20B in total. A small-ish hedge fund has like, a few billion dollars AUM. There are many such hedge funds, and a couple dozens much larger ones.

A couple funds with large short positions have popped, but short interest hasn't budged; they were just quietly replaced by other funds. At this point probably every hedge fund who trade equities is short GME. If your position is not too large and you have enough cash you can just keep meeting the margin calls and collect your free money when the bubble bursts.

(And stop loss orders don't save you if the crash happens fast enough.)
While i agree with you in principle, there's a difference between "this market is regulated" and "this market will be bailed out at random on the whims of politicians, while this other market or firm won't" in which case we start to have issues.
Robinhood is being deceptive.

They say this move is to protect their customers, in fact it's to protect themselves. As others have pointed out, Robinhood lends margin to some accounts and if those accounts cannot pay for losses purchased on margin, Robinhood is responsible. This is a real risk, and they should have made the margin requirement 100% for GME or cash only as other brokers did. They did not have to limit buys to de-risk their own portfolio.
>They have a strong product and better than anyone else in the market as a mobile app.

Guess you've never heard of ThinkOrSwim. RH is a toy. It's fine for most purposes, but not much more than fine. They consistently fill orders at a sub-optimal price and the amount of downtime is a joke.

This hurts them and I think you're wrong about their future. They're helping to screw over the very people who have made them successful. We'll see what the actual fallout is given their relationship to Citadel and Citadel's relationship with Melvin Cap.
